Shimmer

Magic. 

The meaning lost, 

yet playing on my mind?

Definitions hold no magic, 

merely words on a page. 

When a bird trills a song,

   I cock my head and smile. 

When a baby gurgles, 

   even from a TV commercial, I smile. 

When a story is simple, 

   yet poignant, I cry. 

When music decorates the air, 

   my toes tap, I sway, and my heart swells

A shimmer of magic crosses 

space and time to unlatch a 

wee door in my soul and I am 

paralyzed with the joy of it all.

“Believe in yourself and believe in magic.”

~ Theophilus London, musician
